However it is still early days in spring training and a few hits falling here and there can distort the ERA.

I’m not confident in either. I can’t see Iglesias having more than the first 40 games to earn that closers role. Votto will get the first half at a minimum before his time gets cut back and that’s regardless of how bad he might hit. He is also probably locked into that 2 spot until at least then.
It's still early for sure. Perhaps it's just early season jitters or whatever ? But I just hope they don't wait to long to pull the plug if this trend continues very far into the season.
